    God, I really want a good Batman figure.

    Gotham by Gaslight Batman

    Silver Age Batman and Robin Set

    Alex Ross Justice Batman

    Kingdom Come Batman

    Hush Batman (except for the thighs of steel it packs)

    Red Son Batman

    Shall I continue? Theres also a Batman Through The Ages box set coming out this month.

    Oh I know there are plenty of them out there, I meant I want to own a good batman action figure. Sorry, I can see how you misunderstood.

    Those. . . those are all great figures, I have two of them myself. Gotham by Gaslight and Red Son Batman and both are awesome, and I have seen all the rest.

    If you don't think those are good then your definition of good must mean the figures are carved from sacred stone by god himself.

    Did...did you read the response?

    I currently own one comics-based action figure: Gotham by Gaslight Batman. If I never buy another one, I can rest confidently in the knowledge that I own the coolest goddamn Batman figure in the universe.

    Although, the other day, I went to DC Direct's site and looked at all their current and upcoming figures and made this absurdly long list of figures I want to buy.

    At some point I will most definitely buy the full Batman: Long Halloween, Batman: Dark Victory, and DKR figure sets. After that, probably the Batman 13" Collector's Edition figure, which takes second place for coolest figure in the universe.

    The above doesn't even scratch the surface of the absurdly long list.

    HE SAID THEY ARE NICE FIGURES

    HE SAID HE WANTS TO OWN SOME

    JESUS FUCK

    Keith, you have anger issues. I was just commenting in general on Batman action figures and quoting because they were mentioned in that discussion. Take it easy.

    I preordered one as well just to save one. I probably end up cancelling at the last minute though. Unfortunately they've delayed the Captain America premium format until June / July, so Hulk still stands alone.

    Yeah, that Cap is fucking sweet. I'm going to waitlist for it; I really should've ordered it when it came out. I'm the same way with Ash; I figure I have 9 months or so to worry about it, so I'd rather have the option then if I want it still.

    Hot Toys Alien Warrior and Chopper Predator figures, and you can see the Sideshow Collectibles Boromir figure in the back. Yay for me.

    So, that Sideshow gift card that I mentioned a week or two ago? $100.00.

    I have no clue what to fucking spend it on.

    Which do you prefer most?

    Off the top of my head..Marvel, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Famous Movie Monsters, Aliens, Predator, Aliens vs Predator, or Terminator?

    Answer and then I shall guide you deeper into this quandry, for once you go Sideshow, you never go back.

    Okay, so guys, what's a good place to find DC Mini-Mates? Do they carry them in standard retail shops, like Wal-Mart and Target, toy shops like Toys 'R' Us, or primarily comic shops?

    The Blue Beetle/Booster Gold two pack came out recently, and I need it.

    Nah, the DC Minimates, and the majority of any other kind are in specialty shops only.

    Try Alter-Ego comics. They've got all six sets (first two available for sale) at decent prices. I plan on picking up every series eventually. They are much better than the C3 sets, or the old Pocket Heroes.
